Airstrip One

IDS is set to attack Blair for his "utopian foreign policy". We should concentrate more on our national interest. He actually uses the 'r' word, r for realism that is. And just as I swoon some more he announces that the Tories will opose our deployment in Bosnia, Afghanistan and Africa - and let America find its own accomodation with Muslim fanatics. I was dreaming about the last bit.

And as for acting in the national interest as regards Zimbabwe (ie ignore it), no chance.

Any way more reporting once the speech is delivered later today.
